October is such a fun time of year and there seems to be so many exciting activities going on in the month. The crisp, cool weather seems to refresh everyone and its just an exciting time because the Fall leaves are beautiful and the most favorite holidays are around the corner! 
I wanted to put some more pictures on here from some of the events we did this month. We went to a pumpkin patch out in Hooper to get our pumpkins. The deal was, "$5 for an armful". Cooper helped me pick out 4 pumpkins, I stuffed them into my arms, gave the farmer $5 and off we went....that is, after Cooper and Clayton played in the onion field!
Last week the weather was near 40 but the kids wanted to go and play for a few minutes. We got them dressed in warm clothes and spent a few minutes outdoors. It was freezing, but the boys had a good time playing with each other. Clayton just started wearing shoes, so he has a hard time walking in them. Cooper was nice and decided to help him walk down the sidewalk.
In mid October, all the local elementary schools had a fundraiser. They brought in big inflatables and the kids had a great time playing on them. Cooper ended up going to Reese and Jaxson's school and they all had so much fun getting their energy out!
For Family Home Evening, we decided to carve pumpkins with Jacqui, Jared, and their kids. All of the kids had a great time pulling out the seeds and helping carve the faces.
My friend, Bekka just bought a new house and so the kids and I decided to go rake up the leaves in her yard. They had so much fun jumping in the leaves and throwing them around. It reminded me of when I was young and we had a lot of leaves in our back yard that we would play in every fall.
